Thoughts: Kind? Nice? And Happy Mother's Day!

Some people tell me that I am a very kind and sweet girl (woman...lol) but sometimes, I wonder if being nice is really worth it at all.

I am not the kind of person to look for trouble unless trouble comes looking for me. If it does, it's in for a surprise. I am kind of the underdog with a hidden card. I don't push it but if you push me, I'll push back hard. Let's get that out of the way.

People tell me that I don't have boundaries, I am stupid, I should be more assertive, and I should draw the line.

You think I don't know all of that? Really? #lol

There's something wrong with me. I am wired wrongly from birth, that's what I think.

I've been shown the middle finger a lot these past few months. Some left me gawking and others made me want to fit my fist into your pie holes. That's not really my style, actually.

Walking away is more my style but still.

However, things like these makes me see the tiny slivers of hope, rays of possible sunshine in the distance. Other days, the cloud seems to hang over my head and I can't seem to shake it off.


Recently, I also had to write a lot of (and receive a lot of) rejections, but I made an effort to show the person(s) why, how and to keep things cool. They've, once again, yes, called me kind and humble.

I wrote a nice piece of article on my new website and was called an 'ace writer' and was 'really nice'.

Sometimes, though, I sit here and wonder if being nice is really what I want to be. People don't appreciate kind people because we're then viewed as carpet and dispensable.

I know everyone's somehow dispensable, in one way or the other, no matter what your relationship/connection, is but if someone has a thumping heart with red, hot blood pumping in and out of its veins, being nice to kind people, I thought, was a given.

Yet, time and time again, I am learning and relearning the fact that being nice is just the shiz. We have to know when to stop the train.

At the end of the day, whatever it is, I try not to resort to cruelty until it hurts so bad that it makes me want to hurt the person(s). I've done that, of course, but it is not without regret.

But maybe that's what it is all about - knowing where, what, how, when, and who to be nice to. If they cross you one time, give them a second chance. If they cross you again, turn around and walk. If you think they deserve it, uppercut the hell out of them.

Karma, look the other way for a second? - @sszh@les don't deserve kindness.

Then, at least, when I look back 10 years down the road, I won't regret the opportunity to deliver my own brand of Karma. Sometimes, Karma is a damn tardy bitch. #lol

It's Saturday and we didn't have to wake up early today! Don't you just love it? Well, I do!

And I'll end it with a nice little post I saw on Facebook! Something to lift the mood, that despite the shitty people swarming the world, there remains nice people in it. It's my mission to find and connect with them!



BTW, I tried this avatar app on the phone and it didn't quite look like me. LOLOLOLOLOLOL!


So, I asked my son to do one for me instead, complete with my instruction for a 'logo' or 'sign off' I wanted to include in it. It's so ADORABLE!!!!!



Happy Mother's Day to every parent in my network! We're doing amazeballs, don't forget that or let anyone tell us otherwise!

Love,
Marsha

Stargazer - Stretch Those Sides

I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim

Project Wolf Hunting (2022) - Film Review

Less than 10 minutes into the movie, I was already wondering why am I watching this show, and in the dead of the night.  But I was thinking to myself, I've toughened up quite a bit when it comes to things like these... Happiness , Signal , Sweet Home , Alice in Borderland , Vagabond , City Hunter , Tunnel ...these crime and sci-fi dramas and films I endured just so that I can watch my favorite actors in action...they must have really built me some mental muscles.  Usually, I am the late kind because I want to see what everyone has to say about it...so that I am prepared.  I will just present you with reasons to watch and reasons NOT to. Here goes.  REASONS TO WATCH If you like Seo In Guk , Jung So Min , Jang Dong Yoon , Sung Dong Il , or maybe even Im Ju Hwan , you might want to endure this film.  Hint : If you're a fan of Jang Dong Yoon, maybe watch it.  It's interesting. I know we have a lot of post apocalyptic world films all over the place now but this is a little diffe
